CORVALLIS, Ore. -
No. 23 Oregon State scored multiple runs in four of the first five innings and ran away with an 11-5 victory over the UC Santa Barbara baseball team on Saturday afternoon at Goss Stadium.

Vedo took the loss, falling to 3-3 on the year as the Beavers scored four runs in the first inning.

When the Gauchos came back and scored twice in the second inning to cut the lead to 4-2, OSU rallied back with two more runs against Vedo and then scored twice more in the third inning vs. reliever Zak Edginton to put the game away.

UCSB falls to 10-8 overall. Oregon State, which is 11-1 at home, improves to 18-5 on the season.
